Except for the guy who disarmed one of the gunmen, name of Ahmed.

Yes, you’re right. I think we need radical changes in direction and think the Greens are the only party offering policy that even begins to meet the moment.
That was my attempt to understand their stance and their sense of the electorate, not my own preference - I could have made that clearer

If you are a Labour member, or MP, or candidate, or whatever - good luck, but the absolute commitment to telling your own supporters or allies how you actually would rather be Continuity National is going to depress your vote like the bonfire of policies Hipkins proudly announced did in 2023.

It's not just Hipkins who sets this approach. Need to remove the others which requires their party to get honest with itself.

Until then, better to put our energies into winning a big Greens caucus.

Softly softly will not work. We saw what happens with a softly, softly approach and shift to a more neoliberal agenda in America, it just drives the fascism harder.

Labour should be rocking the Mamdani approach. Cost of living, cost of living, cost of living. With crystal clear promises.

You have fallen for right wing propaganda against greens. Greens are now our only hope for positive change. A vote for anyone but them is a vote sentencing us to death

Hipkins just comes across as a dopey loser, and that is going to turn off swing voters more than any policy.

This is why I think a leadership change is so important. Luxon is deeply unpopular! An appealing Labour leader could win this. But Hipkins absolutely can't...

My theory about the swinging normies is that they bite less on policy than they do on certainty. So the way to win them over is to look like you have a clear vision and the backbone to pull it off - which is why Ardern did so very well in 2020.

He decided as soon as he became the leader the problem for Labour was trying to do too much so it was better to promise almost nothing. He still doesn't understand that people want hope and without it they won't volunteer and many won't vote

Vote green if you want anything to change

I didn’t know the biscuit tin came from deka lol.

Yes! That is a great video - also the one with Chloe on Gary's Economics. (I think she was the first politician he has every had on his podcast)

Labour is right wing. We need people tp vote green if they want literally anything to change
